Are you a Thrivent Member?
Are you a Thrivent member? Thrivent is a financial organization with deep roots in the Lutheran Church. Did you know? If you are a Thrivent member with an annuity or life insurance policy, Thrivent gives you two opportunities each year to provide $250 in action team funding (and t-shirts!) to church or community events?
If you have never put your Thrivent Action Team money to work, we can help. Contact the church office, Thrivent, or your Thrivent representative.
